Let's bake muffins

 Hi everyone. I hope you and yours are doing well. 

During the Covid lockdown in early 2020, my husband started baking muffins once every couple of weeks. There are lots of recipes on the net. I thought I might share with you the one he uses. They freeze well and you can heat them up in the microwave for breakfast - but I suggest you take them out the night before. 

This recipe came from Bake Play Smile.com/savoury-muffins

Prep time: 5 minutes    Cook time: 15 minutes    Makes: approx 9

Ingredients

300 g (2 cups) self-raising flour
40 g (½ cup) cheese grated
1 tbs chives chopped, fresh or dried
125 g butter melted
250 g (1cup) milk full fat
1 egg lightly beaten
100 g ham chopped
125 g corn kernels drained, or thawed (optional)                                  salt and pepper, to taste

        You could use grated carrot in place of bacon or instead of cheese and bacon use grated apple, chopped dates or sultanas. 

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius (fan-forced). Place paper cases into a 12 hole muffin tin, spray with a little oil, and set aside. 

Sift the self-raising flour into a large bowl. Add all remaining ingredients and gently fold through with a metal spoon until just combined. 

Divide the mixture between the muffin holes, filling cases ⅔rd's full, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden. 

Allow to cool in the baking tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. 

The other day we found this recipe for pumpkin muffins
